Since 2008, the Park Ridge Wilderness Scouts and Princesses have donated over $14,000 to the Elementary Learning Foundation (ELF). This has all been done with proceeds from our annual Christmas tree sale. ELF’s mission is to raise money for Park Ridge and Niles schools and give it back in the form of grants that support innovative, imaginative, educational programs.
